Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons, Water Tower

[SINGER-SONGWRITER] This year saw the release of The Road Home EP for trio Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons, an album that’s positively light compared to last year’s double LP, Happy Book, but no less heavy on the alt-country guitars, personal lyrics and Joseph’s deep vocals. Subtle banjo and keys behind longing slide guitar find their way into songs like “The Road Home,” while songs like “White Peaches” highlight Joseph’s voice under simple drum shuffles. It might not be a new sound for the band, but with 30 years of experience under its belt, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
